One of the basic problems of occupation is that forces inevitably become static to some degree. They are initiating and we are responding.

Geeze, I see it exactly the opposite way.

We are hardly static. Most of our troops are on the move constantly. We have been attacking opposition troops everywhere we find them. The rest of our folks are training the new Iraqi armed forces which is conducting an increasing number of patrols everyday.

They are responding to us and our activity. These guys have been relatively unscathed. They can see their world and power base crumbling around them. They probably think if they don't fight now, they may never get a chance.

It is difficult to get inside the minds of men who are willing to die for their cause. It is not difficult to help them accomplish their mission which is to die for their country.
